For example, one session I didn't realize we were starting a new campaign (I thought we were playing a different DM's game), and I needed a new character quick. I already had the basic character concept, so I think it took about a 1/2 hour of actual creation time. But since I tend to talk a lot, I think it took me longer than that because I got distracted. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> In a higher level game (15th level), I decided to take my time and make a character around a theme and that took me about 2 hours. I made wish lists of feats, spells, skills, etc. and narrowed them down to what I thought was essential, what represented parts of her past, her personality, her hobbies and her goals, and wrote them into a detailed background. That was a fun exercise that satisfied both the gamer and the writer in me.But if I'm not feeling inspired, it can take forever.</blockquote>
